title = "Enforcing Machine Ethics: Considering Governor Modules through Martha Wells{\textquoteright}s Murderbot Diaries",
abstract = "This chapter examines the ways in which {\textquotedblleft}governor modules,{\textquotedblright} a form of technological intervention that can control how an AI behaves and is permitted to act, are represented in Martha Wells{\textquoteright}s Murderbot Diaries series. Exploring the assumptions behind the technology in the series{\textemdash}what kind of actions it prohibits, and how it prohibits them{\textemdash}it then turns to current research in the field of computer science to examine how current models of {\textquotedblleft}model judges{\textquotedblright} compare to Wells{\textquoteright}s fictional setting. In so doing, it seeks to consider how autonomy and agency are constrained by such technologies, and the problems involved in situating and programming such a system.",
